Mr. Bitey Goes to Leadville

This is a good single pitch route, the best warm-up for P1 of

Cat Scratch Fever

. It was named for my boss' ex-rooster who had to move to Leadville just because he is a rooster. Apparently BV is not a rooster friendly town.

Go up to the right of

Cat Scratch Fever

, and find the next crack system to the right. This will involve doing a strange undercling move to access the bench above.

Do a hard move off the ground to get to the crack. Follow this to its end. From there, three blots and several diagonal, "cat scratchy" seams take you to the chains (crux).

This route can also be linked into the second pitch of

Cat Scratch Fever

for more of a challenge. It also looks like a independent finish could be done to this route (Mr. Bitey Goes to the Top), although it would involve climbing a 20 foot chossy section above the anchor to gain the good steep rock above.

It ascends the crack and seam system to the right of

CSF

.

A single set of cams to a #3 plus three draws for the bolts. Stoppers may also work.
